WEBVTT CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT STRETCHES FROM BULLITT COUNTY TO BOWLING GREEN, FROM OWENSBORO TO DANVILLE. IT’S A SEAT THAT’S BEEN IN REPUBLICAN HANDS FOR A WHILE, BUT THAT’S NOT DISSUADING HANK LINDERMAN. >> I THINK THERE’S A RECOGNITION THAT THE PEOPLE ARE REALLY NOT BEING CARED FOR YET BY THE GOVERNMENT. MARK MUSICIAN HANK LINDERMAN : BELIEVES VOTERS ARE FRUSTRATED ON A VARIETY OF ISSUES, FROM HEALTHCARE TO THE LACK OF HIGH -SPEED INTERNET IN RURAL AREAS. >> WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT WOULD BE A NATIONAL PROGRAM SIMILAR TO RURAL ELECTRIFICATION IN 1936, AND SIMILAR TO THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM THAT PRESIDENT EISENHOW BROUGHT FORWARD IN AND WE DID 1956. THESE AS BIG NATIONAL PROGRAMS, AND FINANCED BY THE PUBLIC. MARK ON HEALTHCARE, HE LIKES THE : FRENCH MODEL OF NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE, A PUBLIC-PRIVATE HYBRID. >> AND THEY COVER THE BASICS. THEY ALSO NEGOTIATE DRUG PRICES. THE GOVERNMENT NEGOTIATES DRUG PRICES, SO THAT YEAR AFTER YEAR THEY ARE ABLE TO GET VERY STABLE DRUG PRICES. CORPORATIONS STILL MAKE A PROFIT. MARK THOSE ARE IDEAS REPUBLICAN : INCUMBENT BRETT GUTHRIE SAYS ARE TOO LIBERAL FOR THE SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. >> THEY WANT TO SEE LOWER REGULATION, LESS TAXES, LESS FIGHTING IN WASHINGTON, TH WANT TO SEE, CONTINUE THE GDP GROWTH WE’RE HAVING. MARK GUTHRIE SAYS THE WAY TO IMPROVE HEALTHCARE IS TO FIX OR : REPLACE THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. >> WE HAVE TO HAVE MORE MARK -BASED REFORMS, BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE IF WE GO TO A MO GOVERNMENT-RUN SYSTEM, YOU’RE GOING TO LOSE INNOVATION. AND THE INNOVATION WE’VE SEEN, THINK ABOUT IT, HEPATITIS C CAN BE CURED WITH A PILL. MARK GUTHRIE TOUTS HIS VOTES TO : HELP WORKERS RETRAIN FOR NEW JOBS AND ROLL BACK REGULATIONS. >> BECAUSE OF THE RULES OF THE SENATE, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO MAKE THE TAX CUTS FOR WORKING AMERICANS PERMANENT. THEY EXPIRE OVER THE COURSE THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. AND I WANT TO MAKE THOSE TAX CUTS PERMANENT, SO PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY’RE GOING TO KEEP MORE OF THEIR MONEY, THE GOVERNMENT’S GOING TO HAVE LESS OF IT. THEY HAVE CERTAINTY SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE BIG PURCHASING DECISIONS.
